Input Sought on Metropolitan Transportation Plan

The Capitol Region Council of Governments (CRCOG) is developing its Metropolitan Transportation Plan (MTP), a plan which lays out a vision for the region’s transportation system over the next 25 years. The MTP is a federally-mandated plan that determines the region’s priorities for spending federal transportation funds in the region. As the region’s Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO), CRCOG develops this plan to form the core of its transportation planning program.

In addition to the MTP, CRCOG is seeking input on an Air Quality Conformity Analysis (AQCA) performed by the Connecticut Department of Transportation (CTDOT) for the 2019 MTP update and the 2018-2021 Transportation Improvement Program. Under the Clean Air Act, these plans must be within established budgets for emissions.

The public comment period goes from February 20, 2019 until March 22, 2019 at 3:00pm.
Public meetings will be announced soon. Public comments can be given at CRCOG’s regularly scheduled Transportation Committee (TC) Meetings and Policy Board (PB) Meetings. Dates and times are:

February 25, 2019 at noon (TC)

March 25, 2019 at noon (TC)

February 27, 2019 at noon (PB)

March 27, 2019 at noon (PB)

All of these meetings are held at CRCOG’s office on the 3rd floor (see below for the address).

A printed version of the plan and the AQCA can be obtained at CRCOG’s office: 241 Main Street, Fourth Floor, Hartford, CT 06106

Comments on the plan will be accepted until March 22, 2019 at 3:00pm. You can submit them by sending comments to tmalone@crcog.org
